Invicta FC 3, the latest offering from the all-female promotion, takes place Oct. 6 in Kansas City, Kan., and the event is expected to stream online for free.

The nature of Kaufman’s injury wasn’t disclosed. It was slated to be her first fight since a failed attempt to reclaim her title from reigning champion Ronda Rousey this past month in a Strikeforce headliner.

Young fought Smith to a split draw at Invicta 1 earlier this year, and both competitors earned a “Fight of the Night” bonus for the hugely entertaining bout. Young looks to rebound from her subsequent Invicta 2 submission loss to Liz Carmouche. Smith, meanwhile, fights for the first time since that initial meeting.

Connor-Hamby (4-0), who owns a 10-2-2 pro boxing record, looks to continue her MMA success against Pennington (3-1), who turned pro earlier this year with a TKO win over Kim Couture. She also picked up a decision win over Sarah Moras at Invicta 2.
